For the Windows version 3.x system, the LUA VCB does not contain the valid procedure address returned by the MakeProcInstance command.

For OS/2, the LUA VCB does not contain a valid semaphore or queue handle, which is needed when a verb completes asynchronously.

LUA_INVALID_FLOW
Secondary return code; the lua_flag1 flow flags were set incorrectly when a verb was issued:
·    When issuing SLI_SEND to send an SNA response, set only one lua_flag1 flow flag.
·    When issuing SLI_RECEIVE, set at least one lua_flag1 flow flag.

LUA_VERB_LENGTH_INVALID
Secondary return code; an LUA verb was issued with a value for lua_verb_length unexpected by LUA.
LUA_REQUIRED_FIELD_MISSING
Secondary return code; the verb that was issued either did not include a data pointer (if the data count was not zero) or did not include an lua_flag1 flow flag.
LUA_INVALID_MESSAGE_TYPE
Secondary return code; the lua_message_type parameter is not recognized by the LUA interface.
LUA_DATA_LENGTH_ERROR
Secondary return code; the application did not provide user-supplied data required by the verb issued. Note that when SLI_SEND is issued for an SNA LUSTAT command, status (in four bytes) is required, and that when SLI_OPEN is issued with secondary initialization, data is required.
LUA_STATE_CHECK
Primary return code; the verb did not execute because it was issued in an invalid state.
LUA_NO_SLI_SESSION
Secondary return code; a session was not open or was down due to an SLI_CLOSE or session failure when a command was issued.

Secondary return code; the application issued a third SLI_SEND before one completed.
LUA_SEND_ON_FLOW_PENDING
Secondary return code; an SLI_SEND was still outstanding when the application issued another SLI_SEND for an SNA flow.
LUA_SESSION_FAILURE
Primary return code; an error condition, specified in the secondary return code, caused the session to fail.

Secondary return code; no session has been initialized for the LUA verb issued, or some verb other than SLI_OPEN was issued before the session was initialized.
LUA_LU_COMPONENT_DISCONNECTED
Secondary return code; an LU component is unavailable because it is not connected properly. Make sure that the power is on.
LUA_DATA_SEGMENT_LENGTH_ERROR
Secondary return code; one of the following has occurred:

This SNA sense code is also an exception request sense code.
LUA_FUNCTION_NOT_SUPPORTED
Secondary return code; LUA does not support the requested function. A control character, an RU parameter, or a formatted request code may have specified the function. Specific sense code information is in bytes 2 and 3.
LUA_HDX_BRACKET_STATE_ERROR
Secondary return code; the existing state error prevented the current request from being sent. The determination was made by a protocol computer.

Remarks

SLI_SEND sends responses, SNA commands, and data from the Windows LUA application to a host LU. A session must already be open to issue SLI_SEND for a particular LU-LU session flow. To send data on the SSCP normal flow prior to the completion of SLI_OPEN, the session must have been initialized as primary with SSCP access. In addition, the session status must be INIT_COMPLETE.

The settings for lua_message_type determine the type of processing that will be done by SLI_SEND. The following table indicates the parameters to set based on the value of lua_message_type.

The location provided in lua_data_ptr and the length provided in lua_data_length determine the data that the SLI sends. The data will be chained by the SLI verbs if necessary.

When sending a response, the type of response determines the SLI_SEND information required. For all responses, you must:

For multichain message responses, the sequence number of the last received chain element must be used. For a response to a multichain message ending with a CANCEL command, the CANCEL command sequence number is used.

For positive responses that only require the request code, set lua_rh.ri to zero (indicating that the response is positive) and lua_data_length to zero (indicating no data is provided). The request code is filled in by the SLI, using the sequence number provided.

For negative responses in which lua_rh.ri is set to 1, set the lua_data_ptr to the SNA sense code address and the lua_data_length to the SNA sense code length (four bytes). The sequence number is used by the SLI to fill in the request code.
